Hey guys,

hope you're doing good.

I created a kind of application with several SP Lists and Several Powerapps forms.

The purpose is to open 1 single tabbed form that will interact with all the lists.

I managed to do this, it works but i have 1 problem. Whenever i'm in my main list, where i will open my tabbed form, if i hit "New Item" , the very first time it will show the first screen as it normally should. then i go through the form and close or cancel it...hit "New Item" again and the form doesn't reopen on the first screen but where i left it last time.

I tried to use the "On Start" property and put "NewForm(MyForm1);" in, I set the "On New"... "On View"... all the "Ons" that i found but nothing changed.

I have the same issue when trying to view an existing item in the form.

Would you please be able to help me and tell me how to force my form to open on the first screen everytime ?

Thanks a lot for your help!

Regards

If you want a screen show first on opening the App, then push the screen to the top of all screens. Right click on the screen and move it up.

Hi @eka24 ,

Thanks a lot for your answer.

Well, this is already done but it doesn't change anything.
I figured out it seems to be ok for "New Items" when i add "Navigate(myScreen1);" to all the "on..."

but the problem remains when I open an existing item...this i really don't understand how to do it....

Regards

What formula do you have on "hit item"?
If it is not NewForm(MyForm1) then:

Insert a button and OnSelect put;
NewForm(MyForm1)
this should give a new form

Don't put the formula OnStart of the App

no no... now when i hit "New Item" the form open on the first screen everytime because i added Navigate(MyScreen1) in the "On Start" property of what is called "App" in the tree view on the left.

But the problem i have is If i open an existing item for the first time the form opens on my first screen. I got to the second or third tab. I close the form and i reopen the existing item. the form reopen on the second or third tab... not on the first one.

ok so... here is my list , I clicked on Open which is the Title link/menu in my list and that open my form for the corresponding item.

I go to the 3rd tab of my form called "Activity". so as you can see, for my existing item, the 3rd tab is loaded with the right information.

I simply close...or even save this form.

Then i click again on "open" of the exact same item ...or even another one and the form opens on this 3rd tab "Activity" again not on my main "Department" tab

I can't be clearer 😄

and then another one... how can i remove this from the top of the custom form ? 🙂

or maybe anyone else knows how to get rid of it ?

Thanks !! 🙂

Hi Kadd,
I found solution:)
Go to SharePointIntegration View and both, in fields, OnEdit and OnView add Navigate(FormScreenYouNeedToStartWith); function! 🙂
